About

My father’s family has spent summers in Sorrento, a small fishing village in coastal Maine, since 1896. I’ve been lucky enough to go there every summer of my life. As a child, whenever I arrived in Maine, I would rush down to the beach to breathe the sea air, touch the cold water, hunt for treasures among the rocks—and get out my paint set. While I don’t paint Maine landscapes exclusively, the Maine coast has always been my greatest source of inspiration as an artist. 

I live and work between Montclair, New Jersey, and Sorrento, Maine. I primarily work with oil on canvas. I hold a BA in English from Brown University and an MFA in painting from the New York Academy of Art. From 2016 to 2019, I taught high school English in Brooklyn. I also sing and write songs, and am one half of the band Red Canoe.

My work is held in numerous private collections around North America, and is featured prominently in the guest rooms of The Claremont Hotel in Southwest Harbor, Maine.

Please email me to inquire about commissions.
